I need some help and while trolling the net I came across your community here. Looked around a bit and decided that this would be the place for me.

So here goes.

I want to do a custom Mando helm and possibly the armor if all goes well with the helm. This would be my first attempt at it. I would like to do it real nice though and not use a Rubies helm. I have no Idea where to find a cast one or prices for them. My budget and time is limited do to my career (U.S. Army).

Any help would be awesome on how to obtain one of these helms so I can start.

I will be starting on my armor first, basing it off of the Interceptor body armor I wear for a living (seems practical to me)

Since I don't want to ruin a good bucket with a first try......I will be buying a rubies to get my technique down and move on from there. I will try and hash out a not so horrible sketch some time this evening and let you guys decide for yourselves.

Got my bucket today.....can't say I'm too happy though. Man I thought it would be a little more rigid than it is, also thought it would at least be even also. But alas it is not. So I will make it so. Anyways took some picks of it for you all.
